Baby Stuff!

We've been told little aliens need special care. We are trying to start to get ready for his arrival (expected due date is February 18th) by taking classes, reading, and meditating! We also are starting to gather up some items that we think might make his stay on earth a bit more comfortable. To help us get organized Greg and I are making this list of items that we *think* we will need for him.

Wishlist

• ABC cloth diaper service Berkeley, CA.
• table lamp for baby's room
• jogger stroller (big wheels, front and rear shocks, and a skinny frame to take baby alien off road single track running)
• plush rocking horse (pottery barn: 32-7281264)
• diaper covers (not the actual diapers) for cloth diapering
• changing pad for diaper bag
• sheets for snuggle nest that he will sleep in as an infant
• washcloths
• baby food processor or mini food grinder (for later on)
• lanisoh products for breast feeding: milk storage bags, cream, and washable nursing breastpads
• Greg's two cents: blockset that has different shapes and colors (not just squares) to turn our infant into a baby genius (example, windowblocks or textured blocks at: www.eichild.com)
• sheets for arm's reach co-sleeper mini
